President and Commander in Chief of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has questioned the Inspector General of Police Madam Yolamu on why she is defying presidential orders and command by President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera.
Jumah said recently President Chakwera commanded the police to stop harassing people through arrests without proper investigations saying this command was made after the Police arrested Hon. Kamulepo Kalua and Reverend Gondwe of the Livingstonia CCAP Church in Mzuzu on Cybercrime related offences.
He said it is sad that the police are doing the same as of yesterday defying presidential orders by arresting suspects without investigations saying this is making other people in Malawi to think that President Chakwera is a liar and cannot be trusted with whatever is coming from his mouth.
Speaking through a Revolutionary voice circulating in various social media platforms, Jumah has faulted the Malawi Police Service (MPS) wrong for making blunders after blunders as evidenced with the arrest of Chiyanjano Mbeza as Bakili Muluzi TV.
Jumah said the arrest of Chiyanjano Mbeza was greeted with a police statement and on the same day, Bakili Muluzi TV made himself out that the police have arrested a wrong person as Bakili Muluzi TV questioning the police boss what message she has for Malawians for Bakili Muluzi TV.
He said in 1994 Malawians made a declaration that never again shall their country go back to one-party state and dictatorship wondering why after arresting Chiyanjano Mbeza in Blantyre, the police took him to a hidden place and away from the reach of his family members and a lawyer?
The MRP President has questioned the Police why arresting suspects from there areas and take them all the way to Lilongwe as if where they were arrested, there are no police stations and courts describing this as harassing suspects.
“My free advice to President Chakwera, if anyone defies your order, he/she must lose job, Malawi adopted multiparty democracy in 1994 where freedom of speech and press are the fundamental rights expressing fears with the way the MCP is treating people after the death of Dr. Saulosi Chilima,” said Jumah.
